Wenger himself confirmed he would sign only “top players” in winter, and this has seen the club linked to an avalanche of star players in recent weeks.

Arsenal officially announced Gedion Zelalem has put pen to paper to extend his loan move with Glasgow Rangers until the end of the season.

Zelalem was sent on loan over the summer to Rangers and has been impressive for manager Mark Warburton so far this season.

However, it was believed Arsene Wenger was going to reject an extension knowing well Arsenal injury problems kept increasing by the day but I guess Wenger’s plan is for him to gain more senior experience till the end of the season.

The German born star currently wears the jersey No 8 for Rangers his impact has seen them top the league tables with 12 apps for them this season.
